Remember often used tool configurations (like rectangle size and color)

if most of the time these three markers were used and no others, you can also realize it by working with three different tools, each with the relating presets, and individually accessable by a key stroke:

• A red rectangle, 3 px wide, transparent fill, shadow — this is for highlighting bad things → R rectangle

• A green rectangle, 3 px wide, transparent fill, shadow — this is for highlighting good things → T text

• A rectangle with 0 px stroke and black fill — this is for redacting parts of the image → H higlight

I often have this use-case as well. It will be great if we can save several presets for each drawing tool.

Here is the mockup of my suggested UI design:

Another vote for this or a similar fix, please. I frequently have to both outline important elements in a red rectangle and redact others in black on the same screenshot. Having to repeatedly switch between the line color/thickness and background color every time greatly slows down the process. Either save recent selections or split solid shapes from outline shapes. This is easily my biggest problem with an otherwise extremely useful app.

I regularly need to draw red rectangles and blue rectangles each with transparent fill when annotating images to highlight what is important. (Blue is for a certain circumstance when the background is solid red). I’d like to be able to hit “R” to get a red rectangle preset and Alt+R (or maybe hit R a second time?) to get to my Blue rectangle preset.
